Stewart is located in the Willis house on

The engineers created quite an excite
ment yesterday, when they commenced to
drive stakes and take measurements and
elevation. They started where the Maine
Central iron approaches Madison Street
on the east side, and crossed that street
diagonally near the house of William
Ilolbrook, thence across the Written
brook near the tanncry and across Robin
son street on the east side Of the brook
thence up through the valley Of the brook
along west of the cemetery. Very likely
they may make other surveys in order To
ascertain the most practicable route out

\ little child of Frank Forsvthe. of
Maytleld, was burned to death last week
Unnoticed by its mother, who was carry
ing pail of boiling hot water, it ran up
behind her at tine same instant that she
turned quickly, striking against the child
and splitting the water upon its stomach
and head. 1t lived but Il few hours.
Win Bangs, the gentlemanly stage driv-
er between Brighton and Athens has
withdrawn in favor of Il gentleman from
Skowhegan named Stafford. Mr.. Stafford
will drive the entire route from Brighton
to Skowhegan
Last Saturday, as Miss Maud Moore
was cleaning her loom in the mill she
hung brush which she had been using
on one of the harness jacks of the loom
and in doing so passed her arm through
several others that were in motion. Her
arm was caught between the wrist and
elbow and crushed and bruised quite
severely and Il cash about an inch and
one-half in length laid open in the under
side of her forearm. Two of the jacks
were broken by coming in contact with
her arm says the Madison Bulletin.

Resignation of Mr.. Taylor.

Mr.. Jefferson Taylor, the efficient and
popular principal of Skowhcgan High
School, has rendered his resignation to
take effect at the end of the present school
year in June, to accept the position of
principal of the High School at Water
Vile, where he gets much larger salary
than he received here.
1t Is unfortunate that the question of
salary should stand in the way of the re-
tanning of so thorough and efficient a
teacher as Mr.. Taylor has shown himself
to be.
Mr.. Taylor is a man of high character,
has the confidence of the people of this
town as few men have, and the citizens
generally will be sorry to have him leave
the school and the town.

What truly beautiful world we live in
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains,
glens aud oceans, and thousands of means
of enjoyment. We can desire no better
when IN perfect health; but how often do
the majority of people feel like giving it
up disheartcned, discouraged and WON
out with disease, when there is no occa-
sion for this feeling, as every sufferer can
easily obtain satisfactory proof, that
GREEN'S august Fo,cer, will make them
free from disease, as when born. Dys-
pepsa and Liver Complaint are the direct
causes of seventy-flye per cent of such
maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion,

One of the results of the discussion on
the water works in our village is the
education of our people up to the belief
that Skowhegan needs water and must
have it. At first this straight proposition
was secuted by many, now there is hardly
a man but what, in candid conversation
will admit that it is necessity that must
come sooner or later and that it is Il ques
ton of time only. We believe that the
present time is the time, while majority
of our citizens evidently think another
year Is as good as the present. If we
don't happen to have disasterous fire in
the mean time it will be all right, but
during the time of this delay our citizens
must continue to pay exorbtant rates of
insurance and continue under the present
insecurity. If the Corporation decide to
put In water it will cause two years delay
and we do not believe they will embark
in the water business. The Corporation
got authority to invest in an electric
light plant last winter, but have made not
the slightest move toward putting In a
plant and even agree to pay more for
the light than they did last year. When
the citizens find that an investment of
one hundred thousand dollars at least
will be required to put in a good system
Of water works they will be likely to
move " slowly In the putting in of the
water works - they do In investing in an
electric light plant.
